I get that she believed that she was small fractional Native American if that's what she was told (and she thought a couple of percentage points on the test proved her right, so she already knew it was very small.) But she didn't claim to be small fractional Native American. She claimed to be simply 'Native American, period'. I can't see why she'd do that?
Agreed, but if I was running for office or using it on official forms I would want to be a bit more certain.
That is a good point of view to have.
